    We dined at S+C for a lunch that was part business and part pleasure. Our experience was outstanding, top to bottom. Helen was the best server and I applaud her hospitality skills, wildly in-depth knowledge of the menu, and instinct for anticipating needs or asks. The food was so good that we went for dessert even though we were full, trusting it would be delightful (it was). Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant and again, huge thanks to Helen—she deserves a raise!

    We are a Murphys regular and have never had a bad experience. We visited for dinner this time, our server was kind and attentive (but not too attentive to be annoying), our appetizer came out quickly and was delicious. We each got the roasted chicken as entrees - loving the fall complements that have been added to the dish.

    I had the best time at Rumi’s. The atmosphere was excellent, the food was incredibly good. The drinks were innovative and tasted amazing. I’m glad I chose to spend my Anniversary here. My wife and I loved it, and our waiter Marcus was phenomenal, so knowledgeable on everything and had the best service we could ask for. Would recommend for sure!

    We stumbled upon this amazing speakeasy on Halloween! I browsed open table and saw that there was a reservation available! I realized I had seen it on social media and it was so worth the hype! The vibe was amazing, the service was top tier, live dj set was perfect for Halloween, and the festive decor and lights added to the experience! We decided to try the croquettes with goat cheese and guava, which gave me a ratatouille fruit and cheese moment, delicious! We also tried the Japanese milk bread which was fluffy and sweet, and I have since had dreams about it! Both appetizers put big smiles on our faces, they were perfect! I ordered the berry mule which was refreshing and the little skeleton guy was adorable! We decided to split the cheese burger and WOW! The sauce and fresh pickles really elevated the burger and it was served atop beautifully seasoned fries that were garlicky and had truffle oil! It was a perfect stop on our night out and we can’t wait to visit again!
